Jenkins - Sending parameters to multiple jobs

Question

I have multiple jobs. Job "A" is start point and then it calls Job "B" AND "C". Jo "B" in turn calls "E,F,G".

I want to pass a string param from A to C and then to G.

I did use the plugin to pass param in post build action from A to C and then to G from C.

I am unable to see it in G. is there a special syntax for multiple jobs?

You need the Parameterized Trigger Plugin

Best answer is @Vinu Joseph:

1.Post-Build Actions > Select ”Trigger parameterized build on other projects”

2.Enter the environment variable with value.Value can also be Jenkins Build Parameters.

If you're using the Multijob Plugin (which I love), then you can look at this answer:
